YEARS 3-6  Australian Maths Competition, 2024

 

This year, Our Holy Redeemer will be offering students in years 3-6 the opportunity to participate in the Australian Maths Competition, run by The Australian Maths Trust. 

 

The AMC is an engaging 30-problem competition that demonstrates the importance and relevance of mathematics in students’ everyday lives; it is open to students in years 3 to 12. Australia’s leading educators and academics, with a deep understanding of our national curriculum standards, actively design the unique AMC problems each year.

 

The AMC is run by teachers in schools and is fully online. Held in Term 3, the AMC has five divisions: Middle Primary (years 3–4), Upper Primary (years 5–6), Junior (years 7–8), Intermediate (years 9–10) and Senior (years 11–12).

 

The competition date is Wednesday, 7th August and entry fees are $8.50 AUD per student including GST in Australia. 

 

Please complete the form by clicking below and return it with payment of $8.50 to Heather in the office, if you wish for your child to participate. Entries and payment must be submitted by Wednesday 19th June.
